Chapter 338 Wanwan, you really miss a man!

Dawu Dynasty.

Li Zheng Palace.

In the court today, there were some figures that were not seen on ordinary days.

At this time, two old men wearing armor, with gray hair and beards, stood in the center of the hall carrying weapons.

Although they look very old, their bodies are still very burly, nearly two meters tall. The most important thing is that all the muscles in their bodies hold up the armor on their bodies, giving them a sense of strength.

Generally speaking, ministers in the court are not allowed to wear armor or carry weapons when they go to court. Even the military attachés are the same. But these two people are different. Their identities are quite special and they can wear armor and carry weapons. Go to court.

At this time, the Emperor Wu in the main hall said: "This time we attack the Northern Kingdom, I plan to let Xu Aiqing and Zhan Aiqing jointly lead the army!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the main hall immediately started talking.

The ministers couldn't believe that just to attack a feudal country under a dynasty, two great masters were needed.

In the past, no matter how fierce the war, unless one country reached the capital of another country, it would not use the Grand Master.

The grandmaster is the trump card, and no dynasty will use their trump card right away.

At the same time, it is a tacit understanding between the major dynasties not to use grand masters. If one dynasty breaks the convention, more and more grand masters will appear on the battlefield in the future, which will make the war more cruel and the soldiers will die. More.

This is the same for either party.

As long as the Grand Master is appointed, the ordinary army has almost no resistance, so in the past wars, no dynasty used the Grand Master in foreign wars.

During the Great Xia Civil War, the royal family sent the Grand Master to exterminate the remnants of the Jiangnan family. Other than that, the activities of the Grand Master were rarely seen.

At this time, a minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Northern Kingdom is just a small country. There is no need to send General Xu and General Zhan to attack the Northern Kingdom. If we send Grand Masters to the battlefield, I am afraid that other dynasties will also send Grand Masters in foreign wars in the future. On the battlefield."

Once the routine is broken, more and more people will not abide by the "rules". If it becomes normal for great masters to go to the battlefield, then Dawu's foreign wars in the future will definitely encounter great masters from other dynasties, and their casualties will become Bigger, which is not a good thing.

After hearing what the minister said, Zhan Hong said unhappily: "What a pedantic person. After Your Majesty destroyed the Northern Kingdom, your next target was the entire Daxia Dynasty. Do you think that when Your Majesty launched a war to destroy the country against Daxia? , won’t Daxia send a grand master to the battlefield?”

Since Zhan Hong became the Grand Master, he has handed over all the military power in his hands and has been staying in the General's Mansion as an idle person. Emperor Wu finally fished them out and allowed him, the Grand Master, to come out again. He didn't want anyone to ruin his good deeds.

And what he said is indeed correct. Let alone the strong military strength of the Northern Kingdom, even if Dawu destroys Daxia in the future, Dawu will still dispatch the Grand Master. Since the Grand Master will be dispatched sooner or later, why should he continue to maintain the previous situation? tacit agreement.

It is also time to cancel the rule that the Grand Master does not go to the battlefield.

Of course, there is another crucial point. The Northern Kingdom once destroyed a barbarian army with a grand master. The Northern Kingdom itself also had a grand master, and there must be more than one grand master. If Dawu wants to destroy the northern kingdom, what can he do without dispatching a grand master?

After Zhan Hong finished speaking, Xu Xingwen added at the side: "The Northern Kingdom itself has a great master. If we want to destroy the northern kingdom, if we don't send a great master, is it possible to send you civil servants to defeat the great master of the northern kingdom?"

Hearing Xuxingwen's words, the civil servants in the hall became silent for a moment, and no one continued to discuss the matter of sending the Grand Master.

Indeed, they almost forgot that they were going to destroy the Northern Kingdom. When the time came, the Northern Kingdom would use all their strength and great martial arts to fight, including sending the Northern Kingdom's Grand Master to the battlefield. If they didn't send the Grand Master, how could they possibly destroy the Northern Kingdom? .

Seeing that the civil servants were silent, Emperor Wu said: "If we want to destroy the Northern Kingdom, we must send a great master, but I am still a little worried."

At this point, Emperor Wu's eyes fell on Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen, "Zhan Aiqing, Xu Aiqing, are you confident in defeating Zhuge Chongguang?"

Hearing this, Zhan Hong laughed loudly, and then said: "Zhuge Chongguang entered Taoism through literature. He is just a scholar. Even if he becomes a great master, he cannot have the real strength of the great master. Your Majesty, please rest assured, Zhuge Chongguang cannot be our opponent."

"In terms of strategy, I and General Xu are definitely no match for Zhuge Chongguang, but in terms of force, I can defeat Zhuge Chongguang with one hand."

"In the face of absolute strength, all strategies are insignificant. I will destroy the Northern Kingdom within four months and dedicate the head of the Northern King to His Majesty."

Hearing Zhan Hong's confident words, Emperor Wu showed a smile.

"I feel relieved to see that General Zhan is so confident."

At this time, Chai Jiliang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that you passed the Ministry of War and directly lost 300,000 troops to the north. You didn't even prepare food and grass."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu said calmly: "I was just worried that the Northern Kingdom would take the initiative to send troops after learning that Dawu was going to attack the Northern Kingdom, so I mobilized 300,000 troops to go north just in case. Why does Chai Aiqing think it's inappropriate? "

Chai Jiliang immediately asked: "Your Majesty, you mobilized 300,000 troops to go north so quickly. If the logistics cannot keep up, what will these 300,000 troops eat?"

Emperor Wu replied: "I have already issued orders to several counties in the north, asking them to immediately raise food and fodder for the 300,000 troops. Chai Aiqing does not have to worry."

"I am not a fool. It is impossible for my soldiers to go hungry."

Upon hearing this, Chai Jiliang frowned.

Chai Jiliang immediately said: "Your Majesty, the north has experienced a severe drought in the past two years, and the people have been unable to make a living. The people have paid agricultural taxes, and there is not much food left. If we continue to raise the food and grass needed by the army in the north at this time, I am afraid it will cause trouble in the counties in the north. The disgust of the common people.”

Anyone can guess how to raise food and grass in the north. They must ask the common people to donate food. Those aristocratic families in the north will not take the initiative to donate food.

Those aristocratic families and local officials colluded with each other. They only needed to give those officials some benefits so that they would not have to provide food. In order to raise the food needed by the army, officials in the northern counties would definitely ask the people to hand over the food at home. This will inevitably increase the people's hatred towards the imperial court again.

Chai Jiliang has been busy late every day these days, just to raise the food and grass needed to attack the northern country. What he was most worried about was that Emperor Wu would let the army collect food in the north. As a result, before he could get the food and grass here, Emperor Wu dispatched The 300,000-strong army marched directly north.

After hearing what Chai Jiliang said, Emperor Wu was a little unhappy, but he just said lightly: "Soldiers are expensive and fast. If you want to conquer the Northern Kingdom, you have to pay some price."

At this time, Zhan Hong said to Chai Jiliang: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Chai, I know what you are worried about. You are worried that when the people see the army requisitioning food locally, it will cause the people to hide from His Majesty, right?"

Chai Jiliang said nothing.

This is a no-brainer.

Seeing that Chai Jiliang didn't speak, Zhan Hong continued: "The 300,000 troops your Majesty transferred to the north are the troops I once led. When they arrive in the north, they will collect grain in my name. Don't worry, the people will not complain to your Majesty. On the body."

"Your Majesty is right. In war, soldiers need to be quick and agile. How can we wait for you to slowly gather the food and grass? If you wait for you to gather the food and grass, I am afraid that the Northern Kingdom will have already reacted."

"The common people in the counties and counties in the north are His Majesty's subjects. It is their duty to contribute some food to Dawu. Prime Minister Chai does not need to pay too much attention to it. If the common people are suffering, just blame me and take care of it."

Seeing that Zhan Hong had said this, Chai Jiliang stopped talking. It was useless to say anything now.

The 300,000 troops have already gone north. It is impossible to bring the 300,000 troops back at this time. We can only seize the time and find ways to supplement the logistics to prevent the 300,000 troops from running out of food in the north.

Emperor Wu said at this time: "Dear ladies, do you have anything else to do today? If you have nothing to do, you can come here for today's court meeting."

Seeing that no one in the main hall spoke anymore, Emperor Wu stood up directly, waved his sleeves and said: "Retreat from the court."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

…

Dayue Dynasty.

Wu Yunwan was scrubbing Emperor Yue's body in the bathtub. Emperor Yue's body was white and smooth.

In the bathhouse, the water was misting, and only two fair bodies could be seen vaguely.

Wu Yunwan wiped Emperor Yue's back and said, "Qingrou, are you really not planning to form an alliance with Dawu?"

Emperor Yue replied: "Junwan, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's that the ministers in the court don't want to do it."

"I also want to help you. What's more, the Northern Kingdom is also a serious problem for Dayue. I also want to destroy the Northern Kingdom. It's a pity that the people of Dayue finally have the life they have today. They no longer want to experience war. ”

Dayue was founded not many years ago. Dayue used to be a chaotic place. The people living here were worried all day long that they would die one day. Until Emperor Yue’s father came here, this place Only then did we have order and a somewhat peaceful environment.

Therefore, the people of Dayue do not want to fight, but people are ordinary people. The ministers of Dayue know very well how much of a threat the Northern Kingdom is to Dayue. Many of them agreed to send troops to the Northern Kingdom from the beginning.

Wu Yunwan was not a fool. She also guessed that Emperor Yue was still a little wary of Beiguo, or perhaps Emperor Yue wanted Dawu to explore Beiguo's background before making a decision.

Wu Yunwan sighed slightly. Although she and Emperor Yue were good friends and sisters, they were born in two dynasties after all.

Emperor Yue has his own dynasty interests, so he can no longer be as emotional as before and just help himself if he says he will help him. Wu Yunwan can still understand Emperor Yue in her heart.

If she was already the queen of Dawu, and if Dayue encountered something in the future, she would not say she would help Dayue. At most, she would only save Emperor Yue when his life was in danger.

At this time, Emperor Yue in the bathtub turned around, hugged Wu Yunwan's plump body with one hand, raised her chin with the other hand, looked into her eyes and said: "Although Dayue cannot be with Dawu for the time being, Form an alliance, but I can persuade the ministers in the court to agree to lend a way to Dawu's army so that Dawu can directly enter the Northern Kingdom from Dayue."

Wu Yunwan had guessed such a result when she set out, and it was exactly what she thought. Emperor Yue only agreed to borrow a way.

Just when Wu Yunwan was about to say something, Emperor Yue continued: "Also, if Dawu's army encounters any problems, Dayue will send an army eastward as soon as possible to deter the Northern Kingdom and prevent the Northern Kingdom's army from entering Dawu."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan was slightly startled.

According to her good sister, she actually doesn't think highly of Dawu's army?

Emperor Yue seemed to be aware of Wu Yunwan's thoughts. She smiled slightly and then said: "Yunwan, don't think too much, I'm just saying what if."

Although she said that, Wu Yunwan also heard that her good sister really didn't think highly of Dawu. No wonder she didn't agree to form an alliance and wanted Dawu to test the Northern Kingdom.

Wu Yunwan thought of someone at this time, and then asked: "Qingrou, has the maid you mentioned last time who looks very similar to me returned from the North Country?"

Li Qingrou said: "She came back once, but in order to find out more information about the North Country, I asked her to go to the North Country again."

After hearing what Emperor Yue said, Wu Yunwan basically confirmed her guess. Emperor Yue was indeed not optimistic about Dawu's army. I am afraid that in Emperor Yue's view, the strength of the Northern Kingdom was almost as strong as that of a dynasty.

Emperor Yue didn't say anything more, and her delicate hands continued to caress Wu Yunwan's body.

After a while, Emperor Yue said with a smile: "Yunwan, your body is getting more and more charming. I wonder if that man will be lucky enough to kiss you in the future."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan smiled and replied: "I have already planned not to marry for the rest of my life, and no man will touch my body."

Li Qingrou hugged Wu Yunwan and said in her ear: "Just because you will never marry doesn't mean you won't have a man."

"If you don't have a man, how can you control the entire Dawu Dynasty if you don't have children?"

Why didn't Li Qingrou know Wu Yunwan's thoughts? She was Wu Yunwan's good sister and she had long seen that Wu Yunwan also wanted to become the empress of a dynasty like her.

It's just that Dawu's situation is more complicated, and Wu Yunwan's strength is not as strong as hers, so it is not easy for Wu Yunwan to ascend to the supreme position in Dawu.

Especially since Wu Yunwan is a woman, the heir is a big problem.

Hearing Li Qingrou's words, Wu Yunwan was stunned for a moment. It was indeed what Li Qingrou said. If she had no children, when she became the queen of Dawu in the future, to whom would she pass the throne to?

But this is all a story for another day. Her father is in his prime, and within a few decades, it will be almost impossible for her ambitions to be realized.

When she thought of this, Wu Yunwan couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Qingrou, it's better not to talk about me. It's not sure whether I can sit in that position."

"You are different. You are now the queen of Dayue, and your family is very small. If you don't quickly find a man to have a child, who will your throne be passed on to in the future?"

Emperor Yue smiled lightly, "I still want to pursue a higher realm, but I will not have children at this time. Moreover, with my lifespan, it will not be a problem for me to manage Yue for thousands of years. There is no need to consider the heir to the throne so quickly."

"Besides, I'm afraid there are not many men that I can like."

Having said this, Emperor Yue laid his head on Wu Yunwan's fragrant neck and took a deep breath, "There is my Wanwanxiang among men. Wanwan, it would be great if you were a man."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan just smiled. For some reason, when talking about men, the figure of King Bei suddenly appeared in her mind.

When she thought of that King Bei, Wu Yunwan felt her body become restless and her whole body felt a little hot.

She still remembers what the King of the North said to her when she left the North Country. The King of the North said that one day he would make her his woman, and that Dawu would take the initiative to send her to the North Country.

Thinking of this, Wu Yunwan couldn't help but chuckle. To be honest, she liked the appearance of King Bei very much, but it was a pity that they were enemies.

At this time, Wu Yunwan had a bold idea in her heart. If Dawu could conquer the Northern Kingdom this time, could she ask her father to hand over the Northern King to her, and then she imprisoned the Northern King? For her to drive?

If King Bei is so powerful, the child she has with him will definitely be very powerful in the future. If she can have a child with King Bei, and then hide the child and cultivate it, she will not have to consider the issue of Dawu's successor in the future.

Thinking of this, Wu Yunwan made up her mind. As long as she could capture the North Kingdom, she would find a way to capture the North King. If her father was unwilling to hand over the North King to her, she would secretly snatch the North King away. Then find a place to raise Bei Wang.

The more Wu Yunwan thought about it, the hotter she felt. At this moment, her and Emperor Yue's bodies were so close together that even Emperor Yue noticed something strange about Wu Yunwan's body.

Emperor Yue smiled and said at this time: "Wanwan, you are thinking about men, your body is so hot, tell me, who were you thinking about just now?"

Hearing what Yue Huang said, Wu Yunwan was stunned. She came back to her senses instantly and said quibly: "Qingrou, what are you talking about? This water is so hot, your body will naturally become hot after soaking for a while."

"I also want to pursue a higher level of martial arts. How could I miss a man?"

Emperor Yue said with a smile: "Wanwan, if you really like a man in the future, you must tell me and I will help you check it."

Wu Yunwan said a guilty "Yeah" and said nothing more.

She calmed down her emotions and tried her best to stop thinking about that little man. If she continued to think about it, her body might become even weirder. It would be bad if her good sister discovered more abnormalities.
